IronScorpion 1,407 Posted April 11, 2019 (edited) If that is the case then, who is going to give a place to an untried Aussie with British patriality who has a CL average of 4 which, I think have read somewhere, is now doubled from CL to NL which would be an 8. Not sure if this is correct but there are other posters on here that will know! Edited April 11, 2019 by IronScorpion Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure if this is correct but there are other posters on here that will know! Add in the dubious secret ruling of only 1 rider per NL team who has a Champ level average of 4.00+ (or has achieved that at some point in the past) which i think all barring Belle Vue have already included its a very small window of opportunity for List. But things do happen and a club may be desperate for a long term replacement for a heat leader but with guests available for number 1's its a long shot during the season. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GWC 495 Posted April 18, 2019 Reminds me of the old days when some Aussies would come over and ride second halves and then sleep in their car! I hope Palin isn’t a year too early next season after Godfrey almost guaranteed him a team place. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hope Palin isn’t a year too early next season after Godfrey almost guaranteed him a team place. Jordan Palin did rather well against older riders at the Isle Of Wight on Tuesday. I'm sure he'll be fine after a whole year with Belle Vue Colts in the National League. Problem with Jedd is that option was not available to him and also that his average cannot go below 4.00. It was into the deep end. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was into the deep end. Scunthorpe shouldn’t have brought him across the world to ride for them if he wasn’t ready to do so. Seems a common theme with assessed riders who aren’t up to scratch these days to justify it by saying they were thrown in at the deep end. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
